My son loves the nursery. All he does is talk about what he’s done all day with his friends and staff. The staff are very friendly and the management are really helpful and lovely.

Absolutely love this nursery and wouldn’t have my daughter attend anywhere else, as she loves it too. The staff are excellent, friendly and lovely. Highly recommend.

Review from Ana B (Mother of Child) published on 2 October 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough. My little boy has attended since November last year and absolutely loves it. The staff make it what it is, their compassion, patience and kindness know no bounds and they have also given me great advice to help my child’s development. Two particular members
of staff deserve special praise. As a first time mum leaving your son alone with strangers is never easy but you made the transition a dream. Thank you.

Review from Louise P (Mother of Child) published on 2 October 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our eldest attended Monkey Puzzle for over a year and our youngest is still there now. I couldn't recommend them enough. They are kind, nurturing and have been great at preparing our children ready for school. All of the staff are so approachable and go above and beyond to ensure the children are at
the centre of everything they do. The most important point to make is that both of my children have been/are happy at Monkey Puzzle. Highly recommend.

Review from Elizabeth L (Mother of Child) published on 26 November 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have been very happy with our child's experience of Monkey Puzzle. Our child has been attending for the past 3 months and has settled in very well. The staff who work there are all very friendly and know our child's name, even if they do not work in the same room. Our child has developed many new
skills and qualities since joining the nursery and is always happy to be there. Routines have been established very quickly and they are always creating new activities and ways to stimulate the children's development.

The nursery is a happy, caring, safe environment and our son (who has been attending from 11 months and is now almost 3 years) is very happy there. He has made some great little friends and we are so pleased with his development.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.958)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.958) out of 10 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Billericay is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.958 for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Billericay is calculated as follows: ( (231 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 239 Ratings = 4.958
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Billericay is based on 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 55 number of registered child places is 11, which has been reached with 20 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Manager Joined: 2016

Hi, I am Daisy! I am the Manager, and I started here in 2016 as a Level 2 apprentice. I quickly gained my Level 2 and Level 3 qualifications and then became the Pre-School Senior. I loved this role! I enjoyed the concept of getting the children ready for school, and teaching confidence and independence, although the goodbyes are so hard! I became the Deputy Manager after this, and now the Manager! It's been really good to see how the other side of the job runs. I have the best of both worlds, admin and fun with the children! What more could you want?!
